All too often the lives of slaveowners are centered, obscuring the lives of enslaved people and making it impossible for their descendants to process the meanings of these sites. Behind the Big House gives readers a candid, behind the scenes look at what it really takes to interpret the difficult history of slavery in the U.S. South. The book explores Jodi Skipper's eight-year collaboration with the Behind the Big House program, a community-based model used at local historic sites around the country to address slavery in the collective narrative of U.S. history and culture. Part memoir and part ethnography, the book interweaves Skipper's experiences as a Black woman and a southerner to imagine more sustainable and healthy spaces for interracial collaborations around historic preservation and slavery tourism in the U.S. South. Skipper considers the growing need among professional and lay communities to address slavery and its impacts through interpretations of local historic sites. In laying out her experiences through an autoethnographic approach, Skipper seeks to help other activist scholars of color negotiate the nuances of place, the academic public sphere, and its ambiguous systems of reward, recognition, and evaluation. By directly speaking to a failed integration of teaching, research, and service as a crisis in academia, she strives not to give others answers, but to model another way of being"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Skipper, Jodi. 610 20 $a Behind the Big House (Program) 610 20 $a University of Mississippi $x Faculty $v Biography. 650 0 $a Historic sites $z Mississippi $x Educational aspects. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Study and teaching $x Study and teaching $z Mississippi. 650 0 $a Plantations $x Study and teaching $x Study and teaching $z Mississippi. 650 0 $a Slavery $x Study and teaching $x Study and teaching $z Mississippi. 650 0 $a Heritage tourism $z Mississippi. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799707 650 7 $a Heritage tourism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00955465 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Slavery $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120498 651 0 $a Mississippi $x Race relations. 651 0 $a Holly Springs (Miss.) 651 7 $a Mississippi. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207034 651 7 $a Mississippi $z Holly Springs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219889 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 710 2 $a University of Iowa Press, $e publisher. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Skipper, Jodi, 1976- $t Behind the big house $d Iowa City : University of Iowa Press, [2022] $z 9781609388188 $w (DLC) 2021028041 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025258.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B8770B0AA5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
